Well if that IS all - I will make a start of replying to these.

I don't think anyone has ever said they thought it would be harmful to our forum.

Yes they have.

I'm sorry, Bert, but that's not going to happen. If we have to report and defend and debate deletions, it would only exacerbate the trouble caused by problem posts.

MMario - your answer was: - I think it is an unreasonable request to ask of unpaid staff who are doing a job requested of them by the site owner.

I (and others) obviously do not see that this it is an unreasonable request to make at all, and have stated their reasons.

Should the main consideration of our forum really now be - what is judged (by a few) to be what is most convenient to them? Some - mostly those who feel themselves qualified to act as judge in that role - would now appear to think this to be the most important consideration....... So I will ask again - not if you think accepting this suggestion is convenient to you in your role - but what 'harm' it would do to our forum?

Perhaps I can ask you, or anyone to provide - in as many words as they require - why they would consider that always openly placing some indication where and when any form of imposed censorship had taken place and giving a very brief reason why - would be so harmful to our forum?
